   Plant Energy Plant Energy Cat. No. LS001 Lesley Seeger was born in Newcastle 1958. Having completed her B.A. Hons in English and Media, specialising in Design in the Media, she is currently studying for her M.A. in Art Psychotherapy.
   
   Throughout her studies, Lesley has continued to develop her creative abilities and individual style of work. She has exhibited regularly with various well -known galleries throughout the North of England.
   
   She now has works in a number of private collections throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Spain.
   
   Wherever she goes, abroad and throughout the UK, Lesley records the subjects that inspire her work through numerous photographs, as well as in her mind's eye through memory. She never works directly from these photographs however, preferring instead to create her paintings from images and shapes created through memory and emotional response.
   
   Lesley's creative inspiration is focussed on the feeling of a place, or a plant, exploring the energy contained therein. She works very quickly to begin with, filling the canvas with background colour and shapes. The finer detail comes later. As her interest lies in texture and surface, sometimes she will work on a painting for six months to a year, working, then re-working the paint; building layers upon layer, scraping it back and reapplying until she is happy with the resulting creation.
